? >> okay, if you look at this purely economically, then this framework of a deal does not address america's two major economic problems. that would be growth and also the debt. just look at the spending side of the framework for this deal. the president is not offering any significant cut in social security benefits in the future. it's a tiny cut. if you look at medicare, the president wants to keep the age of eligibility at 65. no savings there by going to 67. the president wants a two-year debt limit debate. actually he wants a two year period, in which he can spend money freely, a blank check for spending because there will be no debt ceiling debate for two years. he also wants $50 billion worth of new spending on infrastructure. you add all of that lot up together, what you're looking at is a trillion dollar deficit for the next four years each and every year. you're also looking, if you couple it with tax hikes there is also in that framework, you're looking at a growth rate of maybe 2 or 3% for the economy at best. not the 4, 5, 6% we want. directly to answer your question, martha,
